"they can not give a "blank check" to bypass constitutional limits."

Are you saying that the US Constitution has been ignored for the first 200 years, all the way up to the 1970-s? This whole FISA court stuff was only created then, in response to the Nixon scandal.

"Are you saying that the US Constitution has been ignored for the first 200 years, all the way up to the 1970-s?"

No I do not believe I said that. Without a doubt that have been instances of constitutional violations in those 200 years, but I don't recall pointing out any specific instance.

"This whole FISA court stuff was only created then, in response to the Nixon scandal."

The Fourth Amendment predates FISA by just a bit.
